SOURCE: A4 Transmission shifting

Fist thing to do is change the transmission fluid and filter. Audi says the transmissions have lifetime fluid, but that's bull - change it first and see if that helps. If not, have the car scanned by a shop and have the chassis codes looked into. If there's a true electrical control problem, there should be at least one code stored (which may not trip the check-engine light).

SOURCE: Engine stops while driving & engine revs high between gear change

hi i am dieter
im dave

here is something to try
keep some cold water with you and the next time it happens very quickly get out and pour the water on the crankshaft sensor then restart. If it starts right away without the usual two minutes than you will need to change this sensor. The sensor is easy to find you will see a wiring harness around the crankshaft pulley(the large one at the bottom the basically runs all your accessories like the p/s pump, alternator, water pump). Try to famaliarize yourself as to the location of the sensor first so that you can try to restart it within about 30 seconds.

SOURCE: AudiA3 Bad Idle and rough at certain revs

buy a bottle or two of gas line anti freeze, it absorbs any water that may be in your fuel. add one bottle now and one the next time you fill up. if it is water as i suspect you will notice results almost immediately.

Dying, not starting after it's been warmed up. Runs beautiful on cold engine. Replaced plugs, wire, cap, rotor and crank position sensor, no luck.

Your car cold start valve puts more gas into the system keeping your engine running higher RPM. When you car warms up, the cold start valve will stop working and your car RPM will drop. What you could have is a vacuum hose disconnected which puts more air into your engine - therefore when you press on the gas pedal, your engine would shut off or you find lack of power and then shut off.

I have a 2001 4.0 ford ranger 4x4 burning to rich on driver bank replaced maf and injector what eles can cause this runs bad when cold not bad when it warms up

More than 1 reason. Each may take an independent corrective action. The cold start problem can be a failure of the "Cold start cycle" which uses a temperature sensor to set a rich fuel mix and speed up the idle.
You would need to replace one of 2 sensors. The second sensor operates the dash gauge or light.

Air leak- The side having a rich mix is compensating for excess air entering the engine on that bank of cylinders. With the engine running, use a spray water bottle and wet the seams of the intake and vacuum lines for that bank of cylinders. The rpm will change or stall the engine.

Manifold runners. Some models have manifold runners for the intake. These change airflow and they can stick in the wrong position. This requires removal of the intake, so try the easiest reasons first.

Please rate my info.

2000 Malibu will not idle

4000 rpm and flucuating is normal. rpm limiter. If its too rich need to find out why. first thing to check is the fuel pressure regualtor, take off the vac hose to it, and if there is fuel in the hose, the regulator is bad and will need replacement. that is only 1 thing that could cause rich running but is always the first thing to check. if its running that bad there should be a service eng soon light on.

1)it will not go over 3500 rpm (2)when it first starts it runs a little better for a minute or so and then back to not idling (3)the codes said bad MAP sensor, bad O2 sensor (up stream)and problem in the...

I'd lean toward the MAP/MAF sensor because of the rev limit. A car with a bad O2 sensor will still rev to redline - it'll just be running rich the whole time. Some manufacturers put in a rev limiter that kicks in if the MAP/MAF sensor goes bad, so I'd lean that way first. Clean the electrical connector with contact cleaner, and run a half a can of Seafoam through the vacuum system - this may clear up your issues. If not, I'd replace the MAP/MAF sensor before the O2 sensor.

Engine Cuts out at 3500 RPM

Sounds like you need to replace the MAF sensor its the unit on toyota vehicles that calulates how much Air intake is going into the throttle body and then sends a signal to the ECU of your car which adjusts your Fuel injector compensation. When your MAF Sensor is malfunctioning it will throw the fuel curves out of wack and cause your car to what mechanics call "lean out" or "running rich" its basically your getting too little or too much fuel at higher RPM's and the motor is choking from too much fuel and not enough air. Hope this helps let me know if it doesnt so i can continue to troubleshoot for you via internet
